AmbitionSwayam wants to be a scientist, just like his father

Koparkhairane-based Swayam, a St. Mary's School student, scored a whopping 99.4%, with a perfect 100 in Maths, Computer, and History.

Son of a scientist, Swayam wants to join India's premier IISC.

While other subjects weren't that tough for him, he struggled with Hindi, since it's not his primary language.

"While I expected to score well, topping the exams is a surprise," he said.

Cause of concernPrincipals fear other board-examinees may lose out this year

All ISC and ICSE toppers this year scored around 99% unlike last year's.

This trend of such high marks may become a hurdle for SSC, HSC and CBSE examinees who wish to take admission in colleges in Mumbai.

Since there is no uniform marking system, other board examinees may not score this high and lose out a chance on admissions, said several college-principals.
